Bottle Bills Sidetracked in West Virginia Legislature
In Charleston a birth control clinic bill cleared a Senate path with little opposition while a controversial bottle club bill, already passed in the Senate, was sidetracked by the House Rules Committee on an inactive calendar. The bottle bill aims to loosen liquor laws, and its fate rests on future House action. The birth control measure, renamed family planning, faces minimal opposition and includes welfare safeguards. The session also features salary bills for department heads, a road commissioner amendment, and a study on legislative apportionment.
